EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Corn Bunting, Emberiza calandra. This beautiful avian species is depicted perched on a dried stalk of corn, surrounded by the vibrant yellow flowers of a Cytisus (Broom) plant. The Corn Bunting is a small, brown and cream-colored bird, with a distinctive black and white striped head and a short, curved beak. As an eudicot and member of the Passeriformes order, the Corn Bunting is part of the larger group of Angiospermae, or flowering plants. The Fabaceae family, to which Cytisus belongs, is one of the largest families of angiosperms, characterized by their unique seed structure and nitrogen-fixing roots. The Corn Bunting is a common bird found in Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, and is often seen in open farmland and grassland habitats. This image captures the Corn Bunting in its natural daytime environment, feeding on the seeds of various grasses and cereals, including corn. The Corn Bunting's diet consists mainly of grains, insects, and other small invertebrates. This plate is an excellent example of the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that characterized John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain series. The use of hand-colouring adds an additional layer of depth and realism to the lithograph, making it a stunning addition to any natural history collection or decor.
